The kids had off from school today for an end of term teacher work day. So, we decided to go visit the Ancient History Museum. Natalie and Alex were not with us when we went the last time, since they were in school that day. They were really excited to see what Lucy and William were going on and on about.Visiting the museums in Utah has been an awesome experience. We are not run over by tons and tons of people (especially daycare groups!), so the kids are really able to enjoy their experience and dive into learning, without being rushed.Bones seemed to fit right in with Halloween just 2 days away. 😂The displays in the Museum are amazing! It is hard to get the full perspective of how huge some of the dinosaurs are in a picture!Lucy loved creating her own dinosaur masterpieces on the felt board. I can’t wait until we can put ours up in our new house.Alex has always been enthralled with a challenge. He is the kid who comes home from school and heads straight for his homework assignments. He also does above and beyond what he is asked to do, and loves to be the leader. (VERY competitive!) If given the opportunity to show what he knows, he will jump right in. He spent a good 20 minutes at this diorama finding every bit of information that it asked to find. I didn’t see any other kids even give it a second glance. Just these little tendencies in his personality makes me know he is super driven and is going to do amazing things.I love when the kids can just explore their area and create what their imagination desires. Lucy spent about 45 minutes “making fossils” with the sand, then “discovering” them, and cleaning them off. The big kids jumped right in and worked together to creat reservoirs that would hold the washing water for Lucy’s fossils. I love watching them work together for a common goal.After exploring the rest of the Museum, we ended in the quarry. The kids really wanted to look in the gift shop before we had to head home, so they did not do much digging this time.We had a great adventure and I’m so glad that our little neighbor could come along too.
